Whether math is invented or discovered is actually still a debated question in mathematics.

Fun

That it could be an incitement to violence is precisely what they will/have argue(d), I would guess.

Did a gun company write this? 🤣

It’s only a non-justicable political question when Republicans do it. It’s written in invisible ink and is only visible if you sign your entity’s legal name diagonally across the written decision with a red pen.

Did they say it was the guy? I thought they were saying he was staying with other people at the hostel and this was someone they wanted to talk to, presumably one of the roommates, but idfk

Agreed. A more granular map would be interesting to see.

Re: Colorado, it’s just a relatively healthy state with a general ethos of living well. I think you’re seeing some of that being the urban effect through the Denver, Colorado Springs, etc. and then you have the addition of rural areas of Colorado being outdoorsy still, as well as very often still affluent or “rural poor.” Colorado has one of the lowest rural poverty rates in the United States.

And since Colorado would be in the 25-29.9 category now, it’s comparable to many states that also have comparable rural poverty rates. The fact that the states with the highest rural poverty also have the highest weights, I’m sure there’s a relationship there. I imagine the obesity rates and poverty rates heavily overlap.

Is it possible they’re expressing admiration or paying you a compliment not invoke your disdain?

Incidentally, according to the most recent CDC numbers, Colorado is no longer “green” on this map, just Hawaii and DC.

There’s only eight states under 30%. West Virgina tops the numbers at 41%.

~75% of the United States is classified as overweight or obese, which is staggering. It has to be pretty unevenly distributed even within states, because I live in a college town in a low-middle-weight state, and very few appear obese, and I’m regularly in a nearby major metro, and I don’t see a ton of obese people there either. Rural children are 10-15 times more likely to obese, so I’m guessing that is probably a major factor as well.

25-35% obesity rates covers like 80% of states, so the US is just fat and getting fatter.

State actors expend resources that have no effect all the time. Wanting to have an effect and actually having the desired effect are two different things, as I’m sure you know from your own life.

“Open the door to corruption”? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
